Jukebox musicals

"MJ," the hit-filled Broadway musical about the King of Pop, got a huge bump at the box office after nabbing four Tony Awards and getting valuable exposure in front of millions during its electric telecast performance.

The US film production company Universal Pictures will soon start shooting the sequel to the hit 2008 American-British-Swedish film musical Mamma Mia! in Croatia, on the island of Vis.

The film, following a popular Broadway musical, featured Hollywood stars Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, among others, singing along to hits from the 1970s Swedish legendary pop band Abba.

A sequel to the blockbuster film "Mamma Mia!" - featuring a starr-studded cast singing songs by chart-topping band ABBA - will be made in Croatia and not Greece due to money constraints, according to the UK's Daily Mail.

Debbie Reynolds, the "Singin' in the Rain" actress who tap-danced her way into American hearts as a star of Hollywood's Golden Age, died on Dec. 28, grief-stricken over daughter Carrie Fisher's death a day earlier.

It’s been seven years since Abba have been glimpsed at together as a group, but all that changed at the Tuesday opening of Mamma Mia! The Party – a new restaurant in Stockholm. The Swedish pop foursome whose music has survived the decades got together to endorse the cuisine they inspired.

One of the most popular worldwide shows, which has seen by more than 54 million people in 14 different languages, "Mamma Mia!," Judy Craymer's ingenious vision of staging the story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs with an enchanting tale of family and friendship unfolding on a Greek island paradise, will return to Istanbul on Sept. 29 at the Zorlu Performing Arts Center.
